Literary criticism - Sue Collins

The tools and vocabulary of literary criticism are provided in this book. Clear and concise in style, it shows that the apparently daunting jargon of literary criticism can be expressed and understood in everyday language. The book is divided into sections on prose, poetry and theatre and uses examples from a wide variety of writing, including lesser-known pieces. Exercises develop through the book to equip the reader to face "unseen" works of literature. It is suitable for A Level students, those in adult education, Access and WEA students, and the general reader.
